2018 Toyota Avalon

1. Powerful engine

The 2018 Toyota Avalon might look like a typical sedan on the outside, but under the hood, it's anything but. On the XLE base trim, the 3.5L V6 engine pumps out 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque. Even with all that power, the 2018 Avalon doesn't skimp on fuel economy, with an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.

2. Versatile ride

The joy of a sedan is how easy it is to maneuver. If you live in the city, you'll enjoy how smoothly the five-door Avalon can cut around a corner and squeeze into a parking spot. Or if you commute from the suburbs or are an avid road tripper, the two-wheel-drive Avalon—with its sporty engine and 17-gallon tank—will get you where you want to go.

3. Five great trims

With five trims to choose from, it's easy to find the 2018 Toyota Avalon that suits you. The XLE base trim offers all the essentials, including cruise control, power mirrors and seats, and a rear defroster. The XLE Plus trim adds a sunroof to that list, while the XLE Premium trim brings memory seats and a navigation system. Looking for even more? The Avalon Limited trim offers cooled seats, rear seat heaters, a rear sunshade, and a JBL^® sound system.

4. Standard driver aids

The 2018 Toyota Avalon has robust driver-assistance features—even the XLE base trim offers a rearview camera, side and overhead airbags, lane departure warning, and more. Upgrade to the XLE Premium trim to add blind spot monitoring. These features make the Avalon not just a tool but your teammate, giving you peace of mind on the road.

5. Cozy interior

Compact doesn't have to mean squished. With more than 37 inches of headroom and 42 inches of legroom, you'll be surprised by how roomy the 2018 Toyota Avalon feels inside. Whether you're carpooling the family around town or hauling your gear for a solo road trip, the Avalon will keep you comfortable along the way.
